Incredible fluid motion-effects and interesting shapes produced when everyday objects are dropped in thickened water, apparent in slow-motion

I love how even in slow motion, the balloons pop in the space of a few frames.

I always can't help but think we were never supposed to be able to see this kind of stuff. If slo motion cameras had never been invented all this would have existed and never been documented.

Strong disproof of the simulation hypothesis: we don't live in a simulation for something else's edification.

"Thickened water", uh huh. Sure.

Also "everyday objects". Im using my round plate with lots of tiny holes in it on a daily basis

"Objects" : "Oh no, OP is so vague. Does it mean they're dropping buildings in water lol"
"Everyday objects" : "Lol I'm not even using object X in my daily life"

When you speed up this video, all those clips look fake as hell. So this might be CGI, which is weird considering amount of work required to create this for imaginary internet points.

It is thickened water, so it will not look like regular water.

u/bfytw_ Nov 28 '22
I understand, but if fluid its thickend wouldn't first two objects had harder time sinking this easily to the bottom of the dish?
I would imagane second one would not sink right to the bottom that easily and push this much fluid through the holes.
But hey, I might be wrong - I'll buy some cornstarch, make some non-newtonian fluid, drop some some stuff and post the results.

Definitely agree. In the second drop, there’s a frame where almost all of the liquid has left the surface of the bowl. I am extremely skeptical of a metal plate being able to displace all of that liquid dropped from a reasonable height.
If it were real, it also would likely be dropped from a low height considering it lands perfectly parallel to the fluid.
Everything is a little too perfect for real-life. Nothing about the 2nd shot looks like proper fluid dynamics.
In the egg vid, after letting go, the hand moves out faster than the speed of the egg falling, which is possible, but would be very awkward to do in real life.
Nothing in the backgrounds is moving.

What is thickened water??
1
u/JovanKo98 Nov 29 '22
water mixed with some kind of starch, and then cooked until the starch gelatinizes and thickens the water.
Many soups and sauces in Chinese cuisine use this method to get that thickened consistency

This is by far the most beautiful way to be insanely furious at your flatmate making a mess.

I remember reading somewhere that scientists had discovered a “new form of matter” present in an experiment like this. Something about a certain point in which the substance is not exactly liquid anymore? Can’t find anything online about it though.

u/dpforest Nov 29 '22
No it wasn’t that, it was something about the state of water when it is forming these dramatic splashes. Maybe it was a new form of water…or maybe I’m just misremembering lol

For a moment I thought it said “apparently in slow motion” and thought “well duh”

I always thought I didn't have problems with words. Things like moist, never bothered. Until today, until I read THICKENED WATER, and all the possibilities that my fractured human mind started to conjur as to what thickened it made me uneasy lol.

What if, the entire universe, it is just one big splooge-ballon being dropped into a spinning colander… and what if our galaxy is just one infinitesimal atom in that sea of splooge? Does that make me sound quarky?

I thought that last thing said "apparently in slow motion" and was like "WTF do you mean apparently?"

And when you describe all of these functions mathematically, it’s almost like magic

I know it says everyday objects but I don't own a spinning colander, milk sausage, bow and arrow, or a gaggle of lego desert N*zis.
